Natural Stonework — Instow, Devon

Local Stonework Specialists Covering Instow

Instow sits on the Taw–Torridge estuary between Barnstaple and Bideford — fifteen minutes from our base — and its seafront and the lanes behind it hold some of the most sought-after property in the area.

The Georgian and Victorian houses along Marine Parade, the sailing club, and the premium homes looking across the water to Appledore make Instow a village where buyers invest seriously in their properties — extensions, renovations and full rebuilds done to a high standard.

Much of the village sits within a conservation area, and the estuary frontage brings its own exposure issues, so work here needs both sympathetic detailing and materials that stand up to the salt air.

What We Do

Natural Stonework, Done Properly

Stonework is in our name for a reason. From boundary and retaining walls to full stone facades, patios, steps and structural repairs, natural stone is the core of what G Stanbury Building Services does — and there's a visible difference between stone laid by specialists and stone laid by general builders having a go.

We build new stonework, repair and rebuild old walls, face buildings in natural stone and construct retaining structures engineered to hold for decades. Every job is coursed, jointed and pointed properly, with stone selected to suit the building and its surroundings.

Because we run our own plant and machinery, we handle everything around the stonework too — excavation, footings, drainage behind retaining walls — so the structure below ground is as sound as the face you see.

High-End & Architect-Led Projects

Built for Projects Where the Standard Matters

A large part of our work comes through architects, and it shows in how we operate: we price accurately from drawings, build exactly what's been designed, raise the practical questions early rather than mid-build, and keep sites clean and organised enough to walk a client around at any point. If your stonework in Instow is architect-designed, we're comfortable being tendered against anyone.

The capability behind that is unusual for a contractor our size: stonework specialists in-house, our own plant and machinery, and experience across heritage restoration, full stone new builds and complex structural work. From a commercial natural stone facade for Tesco Express to complete barn conversions and coastal builds, the same in-house team carries every project — which is why the finish is consistent and the programme holds.

Common Questions

Natural Stonework in Instow — FAQs

What stonework do you take on around Instow?

Everything from garden and boundary walls to large retaining structures, full stone facades on new builds and extensions, patios, steps, piers and repairs to existing stonework.

Do you repair and rebuild existing stone walls?

Yes — partial rebuilds, repointing and full reconstruction. We match the existing stone and coursing so repairs blend in rather than standing out.

Do you do the groundworks for retaining walls?

We do. Retaining walls are only as good as what's behind and beneath them, so we handle the excavation, footings and drainage ourselves with our own machinery.

How much does stonework cost in Instow?

It depends entirely on the stone, the height and length, and the ground conditions — so we quote every job individually. Call George on 07841 933038 for a free, no-obligation quote.
